Best Of 2015: Local Coffee House

"Any drive-thru can fill the role of convenience," Zach Hoerth told me in 2014, when he was just opening Humble Coffee. "But they may not hit the mark on providing a high-end cup of coffee." Humble has done just that, and its fans have defied the common definition of the word "house" to award Hoerth and his cohorts this victory. (One has to ask: Will they remain humble?) Items like the velvety, deep Debonair — a peanut butter mocha breve — highlight the coffee excellence, but real nuance shines with surprising honey-sweetened tea drinks like the Buddha and the Rainfall: a sencha green tea lemonade and an Alpine Berry-rice milk latte, respectively. — Matthew Schniper
